Investigate the different ways in which biodiversity is being threatened by human behaviour and what can be done to rebuild and repair the balance. Discuss and research the different methods that we can use to create a sustainable future and avoid upsetting the levels of biodiversity in the ecosystems around the planet.
This downloadable three-lesson scheme comes with (almost!) everything you need to teach your Year 5/6 class about the importance of preserving biodiversity for a more exciting, sustainable and varied world.
Lesson 1
How Wolves Change Rivers
Create a definition of biodiversity with your class and discuss its importance in keeping the balance between species of animals and plants within an ecosystem. Discuss how one change in an ecosystem can create a cascade of effects, both positive and negative, based on the levels of biodiversity. Engage your class with the case study of Yellowstone National Park re-introducing wolves and measuring the changes that happened because of this change.
